The cut is a fair representa- 
tion of the bearing qualities of 
this wonderful apple. We have 
been slow to offer it fearing the 
claims made for it were too 
strong, but it seems to be more 
than meeting the most sanguine 
expectations in point of produc- 
tiveness and very ear/y fruit- 
ing, and there is a constantly 
increasing demand for it. It 
is of large size, handsome ap- 
pearance, making it desirable 
as a dessert fruit; generally 
classed as late Fall. but has been 
kept till January in good condi- 
tion, difference in locality no 
doubt accounts for this. Skin 
bright yellow, covered on one 
side with bright carmine; flesh 
yellow; tender, juicy and good 
Will bear at 2 years from trans-

ing size both in Dwarf and 
Standard at 50c. each. Small 
trees suitable for mailing, 30c 
each.

Bottle Greening. Resembles Rhode Island Greening, but tree a bet- 
ter grower and much hardier. A native of Vermont. December to March. 
Newtown Pippin. One of the most celebrated of American apples, on 
account of its long keeping and excellent qualities, and the high price it com- 
mands abroad; but its success is confined to certain districts and soils. It at- 
tains its greatest perfection on Long Island and the Hudson River Valley. In 
Western New York and New England it rarely succeeds well. It requires 
rich and high culture, and it makes such a slow, feeble growth that it has to 
be top grafted upon a strong, growing variety. November to June.
